Drupal AJAX Plugins

Lately I’ve been trying to understand how AJAX is changing the experience that Drupal users will be having in the near future. This is particularly important as a Drupalista given the redesign currently under way. Here are some great looking modules that should be ready a bit sooner than the redesign. Warning: these modules might not be ready for primetime yet.

Taxonomy Quick Find
“This module provides a set of blocks which show ‘related’ content based on a selected term.”

http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_quick_find

Home Box
“Home box allows your users to have a page that behave the same way as iGoogle, Netvibes or BBC.co.uk.”

http://drupal.org/project/homebox

Autosave
“The autosave module automatically saves a snapshot of your content type form using AJAX. If the user’s browser or machine dies while editing a node; the edits will be presented to the user the next time they return to the node.”
http://drupal.org/project/autosave

Popups API (Ajax Dialogs)
“API for building modal ajax dialogs.”
http://drupal.org/project/popups

Watcher
“Watcher offers your site’s users, registered and anonymous visitors, a way to easily watch nodes for changes and new comments without having to post themselves.”
http://drupal.org/project/watcher
